"U.S. climate envoy in Delhi, will help with funds & tech."
The United States is to collaborate with India to work towards installing 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030.
“We look forward to partnering with India in bringing finance, technology and other elements needed to achieve it,” said John Kerry, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, on Monday.
Currently India’s installed power capacity is projected to be 476 GW by 2021-22, and is expected to rise to at least 817 GW by 2030.
Mr. Kerry is on an official visit to India from September 12-14, and is meeting Ministers and industrialists to “raise global climate ambition and speed India’s clean energy transition,” according to a communique from the U.S. State Department.
Mr. Kerry was speaking at a public function following a bilateral meeting with Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, at the launch of the Climate Action and Finance Mobilization Dialogue (CAFMD). This was one of the main tracks of the U.S.-India Agenda 2030 Partnership that President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced at the Leaders Summit on Climate in April 2021. Mr. Kerry said Monday’s dialogue would serve as a “powerful avenue” for U.S.-India collaboration, and would be based on three pillars.
